Would you consider it bullying if you deleted someone from your FL who clearly had an ED, then made a post about it on your wall (which is private so she couldn't see the post)?

I see it all the time, and someone was just accused of bullying by doing so.

    Don't think it's bullying. Just middle-schoolish and mean.
    By the way - what's ED?

    Which promoting on MFP is against the guidelines.

    That's bullying?

    There's a lot more sissies on this site than I originally thought.

    I deleted a girl for this reason. I tried to help her. I privately messaged her and asked her why her GOAL for September was to eat 800 calories or less a day. She probably has my figure, so I'm sure there's some psychological issue behind this. So I removed her and said when she ACTUALLY starts eating more that she's welcome to be my friend again.

    She re-added me three weeks later and it was the same BS. I finally had to just block her. It's very sad.


    Bullying would be if I posted on my wall FIRST about how I think she's a fata$$ and should only eat 500 calories a day, while letting all my MFP friends gang up on her. So no, I don't think deleting is bullying.

    My favorites are when people post in a topic that somebody posts in or creates then not even a minute later update their status to reflect an indirect message toward the other person in a derogatory fashion insinuating that they aren't here for help but for several different reasons. I thought we were all here to help each other and seek information and opinions from everyone, not just a specific group of people.... again, that's just my opinion, but I always thought that's what mfp was about.

    I ain't bullying anybody, I'm simply stating a fact of the site and that Erectile Dysfunction is something of a sexual nature, not anywhere close to related to one's fitness, it is a sexual medical condition.

    As stated on my status, it was not directly pointed at you or anybody else as I have also seen this on several occasions on here already. If it was about anybody in particular, I would post a name. I'm not afraid to do so

    It's not really bullying, but it's not really the poster's business to make the person's issues everybody else's business either. I would call it in poor taste.
